Web Soil Survey is a program I use regularly in my profession working in agriculture. We frequently use it when developing conservation plans and nutrient management plans for producers in our local area. It is an excellent resource for identifying specific soil types and characteristics. I also appreciate that you can download a PDF report from the shopping cart, which includes detailed information about the soils, their history, and maps of the selected area.
Prior to this assignment, I had only used Web Soil Survey for individual agricultural fields. When I attempted to outline the entire national park, I discovered for the first time that the Area of Interest (AOI) was too large for the program to process. As a result, I narrowed my focus to Madison County, which made the polygon small enough to generate the report successfully.
